MAY 2013 - Volume XXXIX Number 5

“Evangelization will never be possible without the action of the Holy Spirit.”

“The Holy Spirit places on [the evangelizer’s] lips
the words which he could not find by himself,
and at the same time the Holy Spirit predisposes
the soul of the hearer to be open and receptive
to the Good News and to the kingdom being proclaimed.”

 Pope Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, 75

You Will Be My Witnesses!

By Tammie Stevens

“But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you,
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8

I love the time between Holy Week and Pentecost; after journeying through the desert of Lent, to enter into all the events of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and finally to experience the joy of Easter Sunday, the joy of celebrating Jesus’ resurrection (and the joy of being able to proclaim ‘Alleluia’ again).  But that’s not all!  To then embark on a journey of promise for 50 days in anticipation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is another amazing time!  Read More...


From Virginia's Desk

by Virginia King, Executive Director

At a recent gathering of leaders, a prophetic word was given concerning our mission as Christians.  The work that WWCCR is engaged in, indeed the work of the whole Church, is God’s work to bring salvation to the world.  Our vision and our expectations need to be expanded to understand the importance of this work.

The prophetic word was: “This is the time, God is going to do a work…our vision should not be limited - His reach extends through time to the Garden of Eden, and to the very borders of the fires of Hell - to redeem everyone.”  Read More....


An Invitation to a Relationship
A Life in the Spirit Testimony by Diana McDevitt

      During his homily, our pastor, Fr. Jim Northrop, was telling me once more that I needed a personal relationship with Jesus.  Didn’t I have that in the Eucharist? How did that fly with being Catholic?  It was the fall of 2011 and Fr. Jim was encouraging us to attend the Life in the Spirit Seminar in the parish.  Though I didn’t really know what to expect, I decided to sign up.

            The seminar was a straightforward set of teachings on faith. Each lesson was followed with group discussion. The music at the seminar sounded more like my friend’s churches – more personal (more guitars).  And, sometime in the seminar, I began to know that I wanted, needed something more.  Read More...
